Is it worth publishing your fiction on your blog?

In 2004 author Dave Wellington began a new blog publishing a serialised horror novel, chapter by chapter. Three years later, Wellington has completed five novels in this manner, and is nearing the end of the sixth, and he has been offered publishing contracts for four of his novels.

Unlike real life where most of us try to avoid conflict, in fiction conflict is one of the elements that drives the story. The protagonist has a goal, and has to overcome the conflict and obstacles that prevent him from reaching his goal. Conflict increases reader sympathy for the protagonist.
